A
DECLARATION
what
God
is
,
and
that
hee
is
the
onlye
Monarch
of
Heauen
,
and
Earth
,
and
of
Satan
,
who
hath
his
power
from
God
.
IF
ANY
MAN
BE
DEsirous
to
know
what
God
is
,
let
him
search
the
holy
Scriptures
,
&
hee
shall
si●de
it
thus
.
God
is
the
only
Monarch
of
Heauen
,
&
Earth
,
hee
is
the
most
glorious
inuisible
spirite
,
omnipotent
,
of
him selfe
,
who
hath
created
,
set
in
order
,
conserueth
and
ruleth
all
thinges
in
Heauen
,
Earth
and
Hell
,
being
the
right
Maister
of
all
indeede
,
of
euerlasting
being
,
had
no
beginning
shall
haue
no
ending
,
without
emparing
or
alteration
through
time
,
there
is
nothing
new
vnto
him
,
neither
can
he
waxe
olde
.
For
to
him
there
can
bee
no
time
past
nor
time
to
come
,
but
from
euerlasting
to
euerlasting
,
one
and
the
same
time
is
euer
present
with
him
.
Therefore
the
distinction
of
time
is
for
Angels
,
Deuils
,
mankinde
and
other
creatures
which
had
beginning
,
and
not
for
God
,
which
had
no
beginning
.
Vnus
est
ille
Deus
&
semper
idem
.
The
same
God
is
that
almighty
power
which
the
Philosophers
of
old
time
found
out
to
bee
the
first
mouer
,
that
causeth
all
mouing
and
springing
thinges
,
to
moue
and
spring
,
to
increase
and
diminishe
,
as
well
sencible
as
insencible
,
as
wel
reasonable
as
vnreasonable
creatures
.
Also
they
found
him
to
be
the
cause
of
all
other
causes
,
wherin
they
differ
not
much
as
touching
the
property
of
the
diety
from
the
Apostle
,
Other
knowledge
they
had
not
of
him
to
giue
him
his
right
name
,
because
it
pleased
God
not
to
open
him selfe
further
vnto
them
.
Therefore
the
notable
wise
men
of
the
famous
Citty
of
This
first
mouer
in
the
only
Monarch
of
al
power
and
dominion
,
who
hath
created
and
set
in
order
all
thinges
visible
and
inuisible
,
by
whose
incomprehensible
power
,
will
and
direction
euery
thing
hath
his
being
in
Heauen
,
Earth
and
Hell
.
Therefore
of
necessity
it
must
followe
,
that
whatsoeuer
,
or
to
what
end
soeuer
,
things
are
by
him
created
,
moued
,
encreased
or
diminished
,
or
by
Angels
or
men
,
in
deed
or
word
committed
,
or
in
thought
conceaued
,
yea
euen
by
Satan
and
his
Angells
:
they
all
haue
their
mouing
,
and
disposition
of
working
by
his
forepointment
and
direction
only
.
This
conclusion
cannot
iustly
bee
denied
:
except
another
power
be
imagined
,
that
of
it selfe
can
bee
,
moue
,
worke
,
dispose
and
direct
thinges
besides
and
contrary
to
the
power
and
will
of
this
Almighty
and
eternall
Monarch
of
all
power
and
dominion
,
by
which
false
&
vile
imagination
the
almightines
of
our
one
eternall
God
to
bee
creator
,
&
director
of
all
things
visible
and
inuisible
should
bee
vtterly
denied
.
Therefore
let
all
people
beware
and
eschewe
the
wading
in
that
bottomlesse
gulfe
,
of
damnable
imagination
,
vnlesse
they
care
This
is
that
Almighty
Monarch
and
eternall
God
,
who
(
after
the
Heauens
and
the
Earth
with
their
contentes
were
set
in
order
)
created
Adam
the
first
man
,
placed
him
in
Paradise
,
a
most
delicate
place
for
pleasure
with
all
commodious
thinges
:
and
gaue
him
in
commaundement
what
to
doe
,
and
what
to
leaue
vndone
:
which
commaundement
man
wilfully
brake
:
hee
had
also
forepointed
in
his
euerlasting
and
eternal
counsell
both
the
meanes
and
the
matter
to
bring
his
holy
&
glorious
purpose
to
his
forepointed
end
.
Therefore
by
his
sacred
lawe
*
hee
hath
concluded
all
vnder
sinne
,
whereby
his
For
if
hee
had
shewed
mercy
on
all
:
then
had
he
hidden
in
himselfe
,
halfe
his
glory
:
for
euery
thing
is
best
discerned
by
his
contrary
:
Therefore
the
eternall
vertue
,
the
infinite
comfort
,
and
the
most
pleasaunt
fruicte
of
Gods
mercy
,
could
neuer
haue
beene
so
precious
and
comfortable
to
Gods
elect
:
except
it
had
beene
matched
with
a
contrary
vertue
,
as
infinite
,
great
,
as
excellent
,
and
as
much
to
be
praysed
as
it selfe
:
euen
Gods
iustice
in
generall
:
but
especially
on
the
wicked
reprobate
.
Thus
it
appeareth
how
it
pleased
God
to
make
for
his
owne
purpose
,
to
shew
foorth
his
wonderfull
power
,
a
Theater
or
stage
,
for
the
inhabitaunts
of
Heauen
▪
Earth
and
Hell
,
to
behold
his
vnspeakable
woorkes
,
and
ordained
the
meanes
and
matter
to
work
on
,
how
euery
thing
should
come
to
his
forepointed
ende
:
And
that
was
and
is
,
some
to
saluation
,
and
some
to
damnation
,
and
all
both
for
to
shew
foorth
his
own
glory
purposed
in
himselfe
before
the
world
was
,
and
to
shew
himselfe
vnto
all
three
regiments
,
Heauen
,
Earth
,
Hell
,
to
Angels
,
Deuils
and
mankind
,
to
bee
the
almighty
,
eternall
,
and
most
glorious
God
of
mercy
and
iustice
.
Oh
that
men
would
therefore
feare
him
and
submit
their
willes
to
his
will
,
because
he
is
the
chiefe
Monarch
,
of
all
in
all
,
will
they
,
nill
they
.
This
is
that
very
true
God
,
whom
all
the
holy
and
noble
Patriarches
,
from
the
beginning
did
serue
and
honor
before
the
general
flood
,
with
such
sacrifices
as
were
then
allowed
of
,
vntill
wickednes
did
so
abound
,
(
as
in
these
our
dayes
)
that
God
was
(
as
it
were
)
compelled
to
destroy
by
water
:
and
seemed
to
begin
the
world
anew
.
This
is
that
most
leuing
God
,
that
cannot
forget
such
as
loue
&
feare
him
.
*
For
when
he
was
to
execute
iustice
vpon
The
like
kindnes
he
shewed
vnto
his
seruant
Lot
,
when
he
by
fire
and
brimstone
from
Heauen
destroyed
Sodome
and
Gomorah
,
with
other
Cities
.
And
to
all
the
Godly
from
age
to
age
hee
hath
shewed
like
grace
and
mercy
:
and
greater
to
some
,
by
so
much
as
the
Gospell
surmounteth
the
law
in
goodnes
towards
Gods
elect
.
This
is
that
God
*
that
those
Abraham
for
a
cheefe
seruant
,
This
is
the
same
glorious
maiestie
,
that
hath
created
the
Heauen
,
and
the
Heauen
of
Heauens
,
with
all
the
heauenly
bodies
.
And
also
hell
with
fiery
tormentes
,
the
Sky
,
the
Sun
,
the
Mone
,
the
Starres
,
the
Sea
,
and
the
Earth
,
with
al
their
contentes
:
&
last
of
all
man
according
to
his
owne
ymage
,
and
for
his
owne
purpose
and
eternall
glory
.
Euerlasting
praises
be
vnto
this
most
holy
and
glorious
Therefore
wee
ought
to
learne
of
Dauid
to
answere
the
wicked
,
when
in
skorne
they
aske
where
is
God
:
wee
may
say
our
God
is
in
Heauen
,
and
doth
euery
where
what
pleaseth
him
.
Hee
is
there
accompanied
with
his
holy
Angels
and
soules
of
his
elect
,
in
such
pleasant
rest
&
quiet
felicitie
:
as
no
fleshly
eie
hath
or
can
see
,
no
eare
hath
hard
it
told
,
because
no
tongue
is
sufficient
to
expresse
it
,
nor

disribe
it
,
no
cunning
with

or

able
to
paint

out
,
no

to

,
nor

.
Saint
Iohn
in
his
reuelation
hath
said
so
much
to
blaze
and
declare
the
glorious
ioy
of
this
almightie
and
eternall
God
(
which
hee
will
giue
to
his
elect
in
the
world
to
come
)
as
is
possible
for
man
to
speake
,
write
,
or
vnderstand
,
and
yet
farre
of
from
that
it
is
indeede
.

For
we
The

Philosophers

that
which
hath
bene
said
of
God
,
cannot
bee
sufficient
except
mention
likewise
bee
made
of
Satan
the
deuill
,
the
capitall
enemy
to
God
and
all
godlines
:
Neither
can
Satan
be
described
without
declaration
of
Gods
almighty
power
.
These
woords
(
Satan
and
deuil
)
signify
welnigh
one
thing
:
that
is
to
say
,
an
aduersary
,
enemy
,
or
an
accuser
,
which
was
once
the
good
creature
of
God
,
as
●an
was
at
the
first
,
but
through
infidelitie
pride
,
and
disobedience
,
an
infinite
nomber
of
Angels
and
mankind
,
became
euerlasting
Gods
enemies
:
And
yet
not
vnwares
to
God
,
neither
without
his
forepointm●nt
.
And
all
that
notwithstanding
,
God
hath
giuen
to
Satan
,
such
an
vnspeakable
power
to
impugne
and
resist
his
owne
woorkes
and
goodnes
euery
way
:
as
is
not
fully
to
bee
conceaued
by
the
wisedome
and
reason
of
man
:
and
therefore
impossible
to
bee
expressed
of
any
,
albeit
God
hath
geuen
eloquence
to
some
men
abundantly
.
For
as
God
is
a
spirit
,
euen
so
satan
is
a
spirite
.
And
as
*
God
hath
his
inuisible
holy
spirits
This
accuser
Satan
,
as
Captayne
of
an
army
,
with
an
infinite
nomber
of
his
adherentes
,
called
his
angels
(
being
then
in
equall
state
for
the
time
,
with
the
holy
Angels
:
)
through
infidelitie
,
pride
,
and
disobedience
,
became
rebels
:
which
was
that
*
iniquity
that
God
found
among
his
Angels
.
Thus
it
appeareth
how
some
of
Gods
Angels
became
his
enemies
,
and
deuils
:
whereof
there
are
infinite
nombers
.
For

if
one
mad
man

Therfore
we
may
cry
with
Paule
:
Oh
the
vnspeakable
&
passing
wonderfull
deipnes
of
the
secrets
of
God
,
how
vnsearchable
are
his
iudgements
,
&
his
wayes
past
finding
out
.
Now
of
this
infinite
nomber
of
wicked
spirits
there
is
one
that
seemeth
to
be
principall
,
and
all
the
rest
are
his
Angels
,
for
whom
*
euerlasting
hell
fire
was
prepared
.
Hee
is
called
Belzebub
*
was
the
God
of
Ecron
,
In
the
history
of
Tobias
is
mencioned
a
deuil
called
Asmodeus
.
*
He
is
called
Abaddon
King
of
Locusts
,
Hornets
and
such
lyke
horrible
flyes
.
Also
hee
is
named
the
Angell
of
the
bottomlesse
pitt
,
and
the
great
dragon
which
with
his
Angels
fought
agaynst
Michaell
and
his
Angels
:
But
that
Michaell
Christ
Iesus
was
to
strong
for
him
,
for
this
dragon
euen
this
olde
serpent
called
the
diuell
and
Satan
,
which
deceaueth
all
the
world
,
had
no
more
place
in
heauen
,
but
was
cast
out
.
*
And
the
sonne
of
God
Thus
we
see
,
that
as
God
is
the
imperiall
Monarch
of
all
power
and
dominion
:
Euen
so
hath
hee
giuen
a
kingdome
(
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
eternall
purpose
)
to
his
enemie
and
hangman
Satan

For

Thus
by
circumstances
we
may
vnderstand

wherfore
God
ordained
satan
for
his
euerlasting
enemy

euery
way
to
resist
God
&
al
his

:
euen
to

he
raised

Pharoes

against
the
Israelites
,
to
set
out
his
owne
glorie
,
which
is
his
chiefe
scope
in
all
his
woords
and

And
yet
is
it
not

for
any
man
to

for
mankind

made
to

,
by

hee

may
lawfully
seeke
his
owne

he
being
the
Lord
of
all

And
Satan
is
ignorant
that
God
hath

him
to
the
off●ce

hee
is
so
farre

For

more
inferiour
then

any

God
to
haue
forepoynted
Satan

to
be
his

enemies

Let

confesse
all

ground
his

and
say
what
they

I
beleue

three

creator

conteyned

himselfe
is

hee
worketh

in

for
he
is

no
poynt

therfore
no
euill

proceede
from

All

without

are
his

THere
are
twoo
waies
to
know
the
almightie
maiestie
of
the
eternall
God
as
much
as
hee
may
bee
knowne
of
mankind
in
this
transitory
life
,
the
one
way
is
generall
,
and
the
other
is
speciall
.
The
generall
way
is
the
consideration
of
his
woorkes
from
the
beginning
,
by
muzing
on
their
creation
,
and
of
the
infinite
variety
of
nature
in
creatures
,
of
their
continuall
course
and
conseruation
,
wrought
by
the
most
instant
and
incomprehensible
power
of
this
almighty
Monarch
that
worketh
all
in
all
things
.
And
is
the
first
mouer
of
whatsoeuer
moueth
in
Heauen
Earth
,
and
hell

Thus
by
obseruation
of
the
naturall
courses

of

diuers

obtained
wonderfull
and
great
worldly
wisedome
&
m●tuallous
knowledge
in

nature

of

,
&
by
such
means
came
to
this
generall
knowledge
of
God
:

of

as
of
the
redemption
of

,
so
many
as
it
pleased
God
to
choose
were
redeemed
.
So
then
,
hee
created
both
angels
and
men
as
the
cheefe
parte
of
his
works
,
purposed
in
him selfe
to
set
forth
his
eternal

,
honor
and
glory
.
He●
made
the
angels
of
inuisible
substance
,
and
man
of
both
inuisible
and
visible
,
and
all
both
kindes
in
perfect
purity
,
in
holines
and
fredome
of
will
:
it
pleased
God
to
make
them
in
such
sorte
,
as
he
put
it
in
theyr
owne
choyce
to
obay
or
disobay
,
they
had
power
in
themselues
to
keep
or
change
theyr
blessed
state
wheri●
they
were
created
.
For
if
they
had
not
had
that
choyce
in
themselues
(
with
reuerence
be
it
sayde
)
God
could
not
with
iustice
haue
punished
theyr
disobedience
:
But
God
can
do
nothing
vniustly
,
therefore
he
had
most
iustly
punisht
them
,
hauing
fore
poynted
which
and
how
many
should
by
his
grace
stand
to
serue
him
in
theyr
first
purity
:
the
rest
he
left
to
them selues
,
which
through
infidelity
,
pryde
and
disobedience
,
fell
from
theyr
blessed
state
,
and
became
his
euerlasting
enimies
.
Thus
it
pleased
God
to
make
iust
matter
vnto
himselfe
to
exercise
both
mercy
and
iustice
,
which
two
most
excellent
vertues
do
chiefly
magnifie
and
extol
his
eternall
power
and
glory
,
which
to
haue
knowen
and
praysed
is
his
chiefe
scope
.
And
who
dare

,
why
hast
thou

read
of

:
And
of

For

slauish

vntil
God
deliuered

by

If

THese
things
are
manifest
or
may
easily
bee
made
plaine
,
to
euery
one
of
meane
wisedome
:
so
they
bee
not
vtterly
ignorant
in
holy
Scriptures
and
void
of
the
grace
of
God
.
And
it
is
not
a
new
opinion
to
speake
of
two
sortes
of
men
,
whereof
God
hath
forepointed
the
one
to
saluation
,
and
the
other
to
damnation
.
And
whatsoeuer
vertue
there
is
:
there
is
also
a
vice
,
his
contrary
and
so
of
euery
thing
from
the
beginning
:
First
of
Angels
,
the
good
agaynst
the
euill
:
secondly
of
men
,
the
elect
agaynst
the
reiect
,
the
wicked
agaynst
the
godly
,
brother
agaynst
brother
,
Cain
agaynst
Abell
,
Ismael
agaynst
Isaack
,
Esau
agaynst
Iacob
,
Pharao
agaynst
Moses
,
a
false
God
agaynst
the
true
God
,
a
false
Christ
against
the
true
Christ
.
For
all
vertues
and
vices
are
contrary
.
And
wee
see
that
God
in
creating
all
thinges
,
hath
made
each
creature
in
theyr
kyndes
,
and
one
mortal
enemie
and
deuourer
of
another
:
for
what
thing
soeuer
driueth
feare
into
an
other
thinge
:
is
enemie
to
the
thinge
that
conceaueth
the
feare
.
Example
The
Wolfe
to
the
Sheepe
,
the
Firret
and
Wezell
to
the
silly
Conny
,
the
Cat
to
the
Mouse
,
the
Spider
to
the
Flye
,
are
natural
deuourers
.
And
likewise
of
al
maner
beastes
and
wormes
on
Earth
:
And
whatsoeuer
of
them
:
the
same
of
the
foules
of
the
ayre
,
and
fishes
in
the
waters
both
salt
and
fresh
.
Finally
the
same
in
effect
is
Satan
and
his
adherents
both
bodily
and
ghostly
to
Gods
elect
while
they
remayne
on
Earth
.
So
that
euery
creature
liuing
,
hath
by
natures
ordinance
,
as
some
speake
,
which
is
in
deede
Gods
prouidence
,
a
mortall
enemie
and
deuourer
:
for
as
the
Wolfe
is
to
the
Sheepe
:
euen
so
in
efect
is
Satan
to
mankinde
:
And
all
these
hath
this
almighty
God
of
nature
wrought
to
set
foorth
his
owne
glory
to
Angels
and
men
,
namely
to
shew
him selfe
to
bee
,
the
wonderfull
God
of
mercy
and
Iustice
.
For
Amos
the
Prophet
sayeth
,
*
is
there
any
euill
in
the
The
text
is
playne
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
done
good
or
euill
to
men
,
euen
when
one
wicked
murdreth
an
other
:
it
is
the
Lordes
worke
by
the
ministry
of
Satan
,
to
punish
the
sinnes
of
men
by
theyr
heaping
sinne
vpon
sinne
.
And
yet
God
can
do
none
euill
,
whatsoeuer
hee
doth
,
for
he
is
vnder
no
lawe
,
and
hee
to
whom
no
lawe
is
cannot
do
amisse
.
For
God
made
his
lawe
(
by
which
good
and
euill
is
discerned
)
for
mankinde
:
And
not
for
himselfe
to
obserue
,
no
,
no
:
but
the
brea●h
of
Gods
law
is
sin
,
death
,
&
damnation
:
therefore
who
so
is
subiect
to
Gods
law
,
and
breakes
the
same
,
comitteth
sin
:
but
al
mankinde
is
subiect
to
his
lawe
and
breakes
the
same
:
Therfore
all
mankinde
comitteth
sinne
,
and
by
the
law
are
damned
for
the
same
,
out
of
which
compas
God
and
his
sonne
Christ
Iesus
must
needes
bee
exempted
because
hee
fulfilled
the
Lawe
for
Gods
elect
(
for
)
himselfe
had
no
neede
of
it
.
For
albeit
that
*
he
put
all
thinges
in
subiection
vnto
man
:
The
almighty
Monarch
of
Heauen
,
and
earth
,
is
not
only
the
creator
of
all
creatures
but
also
the
high
lawe
geuer
,
for
euery
kinde
of
creature
,
in
those
regiments
:
So
as
before
I
conclude
,
God
himselfe
is
not
subiect
to
any
lawe
,
and
therefore
cannot
do
euill
.
And
why
?
Euen
because
hee
oweth
neyther
homage
nor
obedience
to
any
to
whom
offence
might
be
made
,
himselfe
being
the
best
and
the
greatest
,
to
whom
all
honor
,
glory
and
obedience
is
due
.
All
men
ought
to
know
that
Satan
is
the
auctor
and
solliciter
of
euill
and
ordeyned
of
God
to
the
same
end
.
For
hee
worketh
in
the
hartes
of
Emperours
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
Gouernours
,
Counsellers
,
Nobilities
,
Magistrates
,
Officers
and
Subiects
:
as
King
Pharao
and
his
people
,
all
the
nations
of
Canaan
with
theire
Kings
,
the
Philistines
,
the
Assirians
,
the
Babilonians
,
the
Romayns
and
others
:
by
whom
it
pleased
God
to
punish
his
people
Israell
:
and
at
lenth
(
for
theyr
infidelity
,
pryde
,
disobedience
,
and
neglecting
the
holy
lawe
)
to
plague
them
with
confusion
:
that
they
should
no
more
dwell
to
geather
,
as
a
nation
in
one
Country
but
skattered
abrode
amongst
many
nations
.
And
Satan
the
instrument
and
solliciter
of
all
theyr
wickednes
:
and
also
the
executioner
of
all
theyr
paynes
and
misery
.
And
such
busines
hath
God
wrought
by
Satans
ministery
from
the
beginning
from
age
to
age
,
&
that
notably
in
these
our
dayes
.
*
For
as
it
is
written
of
old
:
Euen
so
the
nations
And
Satan
is
not
only
the
auctor
of
sinne
,
and
the
solliciter
and
entiser
of
mankinde
to
sinne
:
but
also
Gods
executioner
to
punish
sinne
by
sinne
making
the
wicked
to
heape
sinne
vpon
sinne
:
as
King
Saul
,
King
Ahab
,
Iudas
&c.
Moreouer
hee
doth
not
only
tempt
and
entice
the
wicked
sorte
(
which
God
hath
refused
)
to
theyr
damnation
:
but
also
cruelly
vex
and
torment
the
very
elect
of
God
,
tempting
and
entising
them
to
the
comitting
of
most
horrible
sinnes
,
as
Idolatry
,
Blasphemie
,
Murther
,
Adultry
,
and
all
other
filthy
vices
,
and
thereupon
maketh
some
of
them
to
dispaire
of
theyr
saluation
:
for
when
the
conscience
is
wounded
with
the
gnawing
of
sinne
,
and
dispaire
of
Gods
mercy
,
then
is
the
soule
for
the
time
,
as
it
were
in
Hell
:
And
yet
because
they
are
Gods
elect
,
he
draweth
them
agayne
through
repentance
and
his
mercy
in
Christ
Iesus
:

hee

And

it
is
manifest
No
man
can
iustly
say
that
any
thing
which
hee
possesseth
is
properly
his
owne
,

God
sayth
by

*
the

honor
his

,
In

I
find
certayne
aunswers
to
those
curious
The

inchosing

refusing

and

and
the

to
bring
euery
thing

his
forepointed
end
:
euer
was
,
is
now
,
and
euer
shall
bee
,
to
shew
himselfe
to
bee
the
wonderful
and
glorious
God
of
mercy
and
iustice
.
For
if
man
had
not
fallen
from
his
first
blessed
estate
into
sin
:
there
should
haue
bene
no
declaration
as
now
is

mercy
and
iustice
.
Neuerthelesse
fantasticall

demaunde
freuolous
and
Indeede

mans
corrupt
reason
and
defiled
conscience
,
euer
fauouring
himselfe
in
his
sinne
:
the
valew
of
the
offence
was
litle
:
but
to
Gods
elect
the
wayght
of
the
precept
,
was
of
great
importance
,
the
infidelyty
most
horrible
:
the
pryde
and
disobedience
out
of
measure
sinfull
:
Because
it
was
agaynst
the
most
mighty
Monarch
of
all
power
and
dominion
in
Heauen
Earth
and
Hell
.
So
infidelity
,
pryde
,
disobedience
,
and
negligence
,
by
the
w●
God
his
holy
precepts
are
not
only
lightly
esteemed
,
but
also
wilfully
dispised
and
stubbernly
broken
are
the
things
where
with
Gods
maiesty
is
so
greatly
offended
,
and
taketh
it
most
vnkindly
:
to
bee
so
vnthankfully
dealt
withall
of
his
principall
workmanshippe
his
owne
ymage
,
for
whom
hee
hath
made
and
prepared
so
many
good
and
precious
thinges
.
And
when
the
matter
shal
be
examined
wee
shall
finde
all
the
right
on
his
side
:
For
which
of
vs
of
the
basest
degree
,
can
take
it
well
to
haue
our
precepts
broken
or
to
bee
disobayed
and
vnthankfully
vsed
,
of
our
vnderlings
,
when
we
commaund
but
in
trifles
:
especially
of
those
that
depend
vpon
vs
for
cloth
and
foode
.
Behold
the
poorest
man
or
woman
will
not
endure
quietly
such
disobedience
and
vnthankfulnes
:
And
euery
one
hath
great
reason
not
to
suffer
it
,
so
farre
forth
as
nothing
be
commaunded
but
lawfull
and
honest
things
.
Because
disobedience
,
procedeth
of
infidelity

pryde
:
in
which
enormicies
are

all
other
vices
.
Yea
they
are

rootes

the
euils
done

How
much
more
then
may
our
good

be
iustly
offended
with

him
,
(

confesse
it

they
ought
to

in
mans
power
and
that
is
most
true
.
But
whoso
hath
the
grace
to
examine
the
one
by
the
other
,
shall
find
such
difference
as
betwene
light
and
darkenes
.
I
meane
thus
:
Gods
elect
whom
hee
hath
chosen
,
being
led
and
guided
,
by
the
holy
Ghost
and
his
holy
Angels
,
loueth
the
lawe
and
hath
a
continuall
desire
in
his
soule
to
obserue
it
:
sory
when
he
breaketh
any
iot
thereof
:
more
sory
that
hee
cannot
do
all
thinges
,
as
it
requireth
:
And
therewithall
hee
seeketh
for
refuge
in
crauing
mercy
in
the
name
of
Christ
Iesus
:
who
hath
satisfyed
the
rigour
and
strayghtnes
of
that
lawe
in
his
owne
person
being
very
man
,
euery
way
sinne
except
:
And
therefore
not
for
his
owne
soule
but
for
al
that
truly
trust
to
receaue
saluation
only
through
his
desertes
:
which
are
only
all
those
,
that
God
choose
and
seperated
,
to
that
end
,
before
the
world
was
made
.
The
other
sorte
the
reprobate
which
God
hath
refused
,
being
led
and
guided
by
Satan
his
Angels
,
and
theyr
owne
corrupt
nature
they
hate
the
lawe
they
haue
no
desire
in
theyr
soules
to
obserue
it
,
no
sorrow
for
breaking
it
,
and
although
the
threatning
of
the
lawe
sounding
in
theyr
eares
make
them
sometyme
afrayed
:
yet
they
seeke
not
the
righte
way
to
be
helped
:
because
they
followe
the
suggestions
of
Satan
and
theyr
owne
lustes
.
Therfore
I
call
this
blessed
lawe
the
ballance
of
mans
life
,
for
by
examination
of
his
life
how
it
agreeth
with
this
lawe
euery
one
may
see
,
weygh
and
know
himselfe
,
whether
hee
bee
in
the
right
or
in
the
wrong
,
in
fauoure
or
out
of
fauoure
with
God
.
For
whoso
regardeth
not
the
lawe
,
*
God
casteth
them
of
into
And
no
maruell
for
the
stubberne
wicked
do
wilfully
disobey
,
and
breake
the
lawe
,
as
it
were
in
dispite
of
his
almighty
maiesty
,
which
with
one
blast
of
winde
,
might
consume
all
enemies
:
And
all
are
Gods
enemies
great
and
small
,
so
long
as
they
walke
not
in
fayth
feare
and
loue
,
and
obedience
of
his
holy
lawe
.
And
although
the
whole
world
is
altogeather
set
on
wickednes
,
And
albeit
he
hath
ordeined
rewards
for
weldoing
,
&
punishment
for
il
doing
:
yet
man
by
weldoing
brings
God
no
profit
nor
hindraunce
by
ill
doing
.
For
the
good
and
euil
that
man
doth
,
redoundeth
to
himselfe
,
for
the
good
that
man
doth
hee
deserueth
nothing
,
because
it
commeth
not
of
himselfe
:
but
the
holy
Ghost
worketh
it
in
him
:
And
yet
by
grace
hee
And
for
these
causes
,
God
did
execute
his
forethreatened
sentence
vppon
Adam
and
his
posterity
.
For
Adam
had
then
before
his
fall
,
freewill
,
(
as
many
falsely
affirme
that
all
men
haue
yet
)
that
is
to
say
,
hee
had
free
choyce
in
himselfe
,
to
keepe
or
breake
▪
the
holy
commaundement
,
wherein
hee
wilfully
refused
God
&
rashly
chose
the
Deuill
:
neglected
Gods
truth
and
imbraced
the
lies
of
the
Deuill
,
whereof
hee
is
the
father
*
and
the
only
tempter
of
mankind
to
all
euill
&
mischiefe
.
And
yet
Satan
told
them
truth
in
one
thing
,
as
is
the
common
vse
of
his
ministers
in
this
Worlde
,
to
mixe
truth
with
falshed
,
the
rather
to
make
his
lies
take
place
.
For
in
eating
the
forbidden
fruicte
,
they
knew
euil
:
whereas
before
they
knew
but
good
only
.
Satans
promise
was
,
they
should
be
as
Gods
knowing
good
and
euill
,
the
last
poynt
was
true
in
in
some
sence
,
but
the
chiefe
poynt
was
altogeather
false
,
that
was
,
how
y●
punishment
which
God
had
threatned
should
not
bee
performed
,
and
that
they
should
bee
as
Gods
:
But
they
were
sone
ashamed
of
that
credite
,
which
they
had
yelded
vnto
Satans
Suggestion
and
of
the
breach
of
that
obedience
which
was
commaunded
them
by
their
Creator
.
As
then
it
was
,
so
is
it
manifest
,
that
now
Satan
and
his
worldly
adherentes
his
instruments
wicked
people
by
whom
he
worketh
amongest
the
multitudes
,
(
namely
such
as
preach
false
doctrine
)
do
many
tymes
speake
the
truth
,
and
rightly
recite
sentences
of
holy
Scripture
:
neuer
to
the
good
end
,
but
either
to
their
owne
gayne
,
or
to
some
other
wicked
purpose
:
such
is
their
nature
,
they
can
do
none
otherwise
,
then
vpon
recital
of
true
and
holy
sentences
make
false
conclusions
.
And
who
can
resist
nat●r●
,
except
such
as
are
lead
by
the
holy
Ghost
.
And
yet
though
mans
reason
cannot
blame
them
in
following
nature
.
Neuerthelesse
God
by
his
lawe
hath
ordayned
death
for
such
naturall
offenders
:
which
lawe
Kinges
,
Princes
,
and
rulers
of
Nations
Countries
and
Prouinces
ought
to
obay
and
execute
,
as

to
bee
executed

The
holy
Scripture
the
woord
of
God
,
which
is
as
Behold
the

that
Adam
got
by
knowing
good
and
euill
,
which
two
woordes
among
others
,
are
too
too
much
abused
.

the

good
to

in

woord
and
deede
▪
And
the
contrary
is
euil
:
that
is
to
say
sinne
or
wickednes
.
Good
and
euill
are
otherwise
expressed
by
these
woordes
vertue
which
commonly
is
whatsoeuer
is
good
:
I
liken
to
a
fair
tree
hauing
many
branches
,
ladan
not
onely
with
pleasant
and
sweete
smelling
leaues
,
but
also
with
most
dilicate
and
Contrariwise
,
vice
which
signifyeth
whatsoeuer
is
euill
:
I
liken
also
to
an
il
fauoured
tree
hauing
as
many
braunches
as
vertue
and
heuier
laden
:
but
both
the
leaues
and
fruict
are
ful
of
deadly
poyson
:
most
horrible
to
behold
,
and
lothsome
to
the
tast
,
of
all
that
truely
feare
God
:
And
yet
to
the
vngodly
as
pleasant
and
delicate
to
their
sense
,
as
the
fruict
of
vertue
to
the
godly
:
because
gods
elect
which
are
the
godly
,
are
eyther
holden
vp
,
or
r●ysed
when
they
haue
fallen
by
the
ministery
of
the
woord
woorking
by
the
power
of
the
holy
Spirit
giuen
vnto
them
from
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
.
Not
that
our
doing
the
forenamed
woorkes
,
should
any
way
deserue
our
saluation
:
but
being
done
of
vs
,
they
are
the
fruicts
of
our
fayth
and
loue
towards
God
and
our
Neighebours
,
which
are
the
things
commaunded
by
our
sauiour
And
wheras
Saynt
Peter
sayeth
if
the
righteous
be
scarsely
saued
&c.
hee
meaneth
not
that
Gods
elect
are
in
his
sight
at
any
time
in
hazard
of
theyr
saluation
:
but
in
theyr
own
consciences
to
themselues
,
it
semeth
y●
they
are
saued
with
great
difficulty
:
they
considering
theyr
manifold
sinnes

assaults
of

,
for
hee
presumeth
sawcily

*
without

as

Now
it
is
most
true
that
Satan
doth
chalenge
euery
soule
of
mankinde
by
the
seuere
iustice
of
God
(
because
no
man
liueth
without
sinne
)
euery
soule
by
Adams
fall
is
condemned
.
Now
if
the
soule
of
man
reply
confessing
his
sinnes
and
in
repentance
alledging
the
merits
of
Christ
Iesus
thereby
to
bee
saued
:
Satan
will
reioce
and
say
,
nay
that
cannot
be
,
for
thou
hast
so
little
esteemed
of
him
and
his
precepts
that
hee
cares
not
for

,
*
for
thou
cryest
and

So
were
they
blinded
,
that
they
turned
the
glory
of
the
incorruptible
God
,
into
ymages
,
not
onely
of
corruptible
men
:
but
also
of
birdes
and
fower
footed
beastes
,
and
of
cr●aping
thinges
,
euen
vile
worms
,
wherefore
God
gaue
them
ouer
,
into
theyr
owne
lustes
,
(
that
is
into
the
power
of
Satan
)
to
all
vncleanes
:
to
defyle
theyr
owne
bodies
betweene
themselues
,
turning
the
truth
of
God
into
a
lye
,
worshipping
and
seruing
creatures
,
forsaking
the
creator
,
which
is
most
holye
and
blessed
for

For
these
causes
God
gaue
them
into
vile
affections
,
so
that
the
weomen
did
chaunge
theyr
naturall
vse
into
that
which
is
agaynst

and
the
men
lykewise
left
the
naturall
vse
of
the
woemen

and
burned
in
theyr
lusts
one
towards
another

that

wrought

receiued

,
yet
not

do
the

themselues
,

also
fauour
those

Beholde
it
is
a
doble
fault
,
not

to
do

,
but
also
to
fauour
them

do
euill

suerly
that
is
the

so
euer

euen
to
fauour
such

if

zelous
of
Gods
holy
religion
,
such
horrible
vices
as
a

could
not
escape
vnpunished

Therfore
Maiestrates

,
ought
to
take
heed
,
howe
they
fauour
,
pitye
,
and
helpe
offenders
agaynst

For
it
is
very
probable
that
they

infected
with
the

,
which
they
fauour

I
meane
specially
those

for

Gods

commaundeth
death

should
not

kinde

vnlesse
it

make
more

the

of
God

and
common
benefit
then
the
punishment
which
the
offendour
shoulde
sustayne
:
By
this
recitall
of
the
first
to
the
Romaynes
,
it
appeareth
at
large
,
for
what
causes
God
forsaketh
such
as
feare
not
him
:
and
wherfore
he
casteth
them
of
into
a
reprobate

horrible
sin
of

agaynst
God
:
(
not

presumption
,
as

of

wicked
do
,

of
a
sottish
deuotion
such
as
papists
call
good
intent
)
hee
tell
dayly
from
euill
to
worse
,
vntill
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
departed
from
him
,
●
and
he
left
to
the
counsell
of
his
owne
will

the

this

proueth

directeth

the

to
seaze
vpon
such
as
neglect
to

to
obay
him
:
to
punish
theire
former
sinnes

by
making
them
afterwares
to
commit
greater

counsell

of

,

God
forsaketh

owne
corrupt

we
see
by
that
which
was
done
to
king
Saul

Ahab

mentioned
in

Scriptures
,
that
men
are
moued

often
by
euill
spirits

And

there
appeareth
a
certayne
feeble
desire
of
weldoing
in
some
men
:

doubtles
the
same
neuer
commeth
to

The

And
then

what

King

had
to

*
Lorde

as
long
as
there
is

a
wishing
to
kepe
the
lawe

a
lothsomnes
of
ildoing
,
and
a
sorrow
for
our
offences
:
by
those
tokens
let

assure
our selues
,
that
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
is
in

,
and
is
loth
to
departe
from
vs
,
but
striueth
still
to
get
the
greater
place
in
our
minde
and
put
Satan
to
the
lesser
:
For
of
this
,
let
vs

our selues

temptations
of
the
flesh
and
the
Diuill
will
euer
haue
place
in

while
wee
are
in

And
at
our
death
will
not
depart
,
vntill

hee
be
thrust
out
by

stronger
who
Satan
is
the
strong
man
that
possesseth

Christ
our
Sauiour

,
which
deliuereth
the

of

elect
out
of

power

and
putteth
Satan
from

let

:
the
geuer
of

coming

euer

be

from

alwayes

For
with

there
is
no

past

the

distinction

Deuilles
,
mankinde
and
other
creatures
which
had
beginning
,
but
not
for
God
without
beginning

Therefore
it
is
most
true
,
that
God
did
foresee

forepointe

from

,
the
beginning
,

doth

these

are
manifest

,
by

:
that
God

For

For
Satan
is
not
onely
the
enticer
of
mankynd
to
sinne
:
but
also
Gods
hangman
ready
to
execute
his
plagues
and
punishment
for
sinne
,
whensoeuer
it
pleaseth
God
to
send
him
to
any
Nation
,
State
,
or
Person
of
his
eternal
purpose
and
execution
of
his
iust
iudgementes
.
For
satan
and
his
angels
are
Spirits
created
for
vengeance
:
which
in
tyme
of
destruction
shall
shew
forth
the
power
and
wrath
of
him
that
made
them

Satan
and
his
trayne
were
created
good
,
and
of
themselues
became
euil
,
and
was
the
cause
of
Adams
fall
:
and
yet
not
without
Gods
forepoyntment
by
their
own
wilfull
disobedience
.
And
in
that
God
serueth
his
purpose
by
the
ministration
of
those
spirits
treated
for
vengeance
,
the
same
work
in
God
is
both
good
and
holy
,
because
hee
is
the
soueraygne
goodnes
itselfe
,
and
cannot
doe
amisse
whatsoeuer
hee
doth
:
neyther
can
he●
bee
the
au●tor
of
some
in
others
,
because
it
is
not
his
nature
to

,
neither
tempteth

were

then

should
not
haue

of
his
owne

chalenge
to
themselues
aboue
the
people
,
for
some
will
not
be
bound
as
in
the
second
Psalme
,
they
breake
the
bandes
and
cast
of
the
yoke
of
Gods
Law
:
yet
none
of
their
subiectes
dare
prate
in
theyr
presence
,
to
call
their
doinges
in
question
.
But
such
is
the
apish
quality
of
mans
corrupt
nature
,
to
be
more
saucy
and
malapert
with
the
eternall
,
almighty
&
most
terrible
God
:
then
with
silly
mortall
men
:
woormes
in
comparison
of
God
.
And
as
touching
Satan
and
his
children
,
whom
God
hath
refused
the
things
done
by
them
,
are
not
done
without
Gods
appoyntment
to
serue
Gods
holy
purpose
,
and
therefore
in
respect
of
God
,
those
thinges
are
good
:
but
in
themselues
they
are
extreme
euill
,
as
they
themselues
are
.
And
whatsoeuer
Satan
in
his
naturall
malice
woorketh
agaynst
mankinde
,
he
doth
it
as
the
executioner
of
Gods
iust
vengeance
vnknowne
to
himselfe
,
and
therefore
it
is
the
good
woorke
of
God
by
satans
ministery
:
not
that
any
goodnes
can
bee
in
Satan
,
neither
that
hee
can
desire
to
serue
Gods
holy
purpose
:
for
hee
hath
neither
will
nor
knowledge
thereunto
,
otherwise
then
in
exercising
his
naturall
mallice
as
well
on
Gods
elect
as
on
the
reprobat
.
By
which
his
malicious
exercice
God
serueth
his
holy
purpose
vnknowne
to
Satan
,
as
a
man
serueth
his
purpose
by
the
natural
seruice
of
a
dogge
in
killing
a
con●y
,
or
such
lyke
by
the
deadly
malice
of
his
n●●uer
agaynst
the
silly
●east
to
whom
the
God
of
nature
hath
made
him
mortall
enemy
and
deuourer
:
&
such
lyke
malice
(
not
without
Gods
forepointment
)
is
naturally
iust
ne●ed
in
Satan
agaynst
mankind

Example
,
A
man
set
his
owne
Mastiffe
at
his
owne
Swine
being
in
his
owne
corne
:
t●●●gge
doth
his
nature
in
bying
the
swine
;
but
knoweth
not
that
in
so
doing
hee
serueth
the
mans
purpose
,
which
is
to
feare
the
swine
from
the
corne
:
Euen
so
,
God
〈…〉
teth
flip
Satan
and
his
Angels
,
his
fowle
monsterous
mastiffe
dogges
at
such
his
lawles
〈◊〉
,
as
neyther
regard
his
rigord●s
threates
of
punishmentes
,
nor
his
fatherly
promises
of
rewardes
,
but
exercise
them
naturall
beastly
lustes
lyke
filthy
swine
.
And
then
Satan
more
furious
then
also
euell
beastes
hauing
such
lawelesse
swine
in
his
power
,
hee
leadeth
them
from
euill
to
worse
for
theyr
further
punishment
.
Satan
not
knowing
that
in
so
doing
hee
serueth
Gods
purpose
(
which
is
to
punish
such
as
will
not
obey
his
worde
)
no
more
then
the
dogge
knoweth
mans
intent
.
And
as
man
hath
power
from
God
,
by
the
generall
wisdome
and
gouernaunce
which
God
hath
geuen
him
,
to
vse
the
seruice
of
doggs
or
other
beastes
:
Euen
so
God
by
his
vnspeakable
power
and
wisdome
doth
vse
the
seruice
of
Satan
and
his
Angels
to
punish
sinne
in
generall
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
of
mankinde
.
Therefore
whatsoeuer
is
done
by
Satan
and
his
Angels
is
theyr
naturall
office
:
for
as
much
as
nothing
is
by
them
done
otherwise
then
God
hath
forewilled
and
forepoynted
to
punish
sinne
vpon
all
mankinde
,
both
chosen
and
refused
:
The
same
therefore
is
the
good
woorke
of
God
by

as
themselues
are
,
most
detestable
euill

Example
▪
To
kill
a
man
is
a
damnable
thing
:
yet
to
kill
a
man
as
the
hang
man
doth
by
order
of
Gods
lawe
after
true
iudgement
geuen
,
is
a
right
lawdable
thing
:
albeit
the
hangman
were
the
veriest
raskall
,
the
evilest
slaue
,
and
the
most
horrible
villiane
in
the
world
:
and
ad
therto
that
he
had
in
doing
his
office
a
passing
pleasure
;
and
a
singuler
desire
to
stede
mans
blode

as
the
Diuill
himselfe
hath
indeede

yet
were
his
fact
in
that
case
both
right
and
lau●able
before
God
&
man
,
because
it
is
the
execution
of
Gods
iustice
:
Euen
so
is
that
execution
which
satan
doth
to
any
creature
for
punishment
of
sinne
,
because
he
neyther
doth
nor
can
do
any
thing
more
or
lesse
,
then
that
which
God
hath
forepoynted
him
as
his
hangman
:
And
to
that
end
God
hath
geuen
him
such
power
and
auctority
as
passeth
the
conceipt
of
mans
wit
.
Therefore
hee
is
called
the
God
of
this
world
and
so
he
tooke
vpon
him
when
he

would
haue
had
Christ

our

For
God
being
Monarch
of
Heauen
,
Earth

and

doth
gouerne
all
creatures

euen
Satan
and

cometh
in
tempting

to
the
committing
of
vile

filthy

horrible

me●stious
and
most
vnnatural
factes
:
as
are
recited
in

as
murdring

blaspheming

worshipping

insteede

Of

Satan

the
enticer

prouoker

mayntayner

And
also
by

worldly
adherentes
the
executioner
of
Gods
sacred
iusti●e
or
punishment
of
all
synne
whereof
hee
is
the
prouoker

Satan
meaning
no
more
to
execute
Gods
iustice
,
then
a
dogge
in
biting
the
swine
,
meaneth
to
●eare
them
from

corne

For
Satans
greedy
and
vnlatiable
malice
is
to
distroy
deuour
,
and
confound●
all
by
all
meanes
:
And
to
that
end
saith
S.
Peter
he
goeth
about
lyke
a
roring
Lyon
seeking
whom
he
may
deuour
,
&
hath
his
greatest
spite
at
Gods
elect
against
whom
he
exerciseth
his
subtility
&
cruelty
in
this
world
by
him
&
his
adherents
both
bodily
&
Ghostly
by
such
intricate
iuglings
as
passeth
mans
skil
:
working
such
wonders
as
should
deceaue
(
if
it
were
possible
,
the
very
elect
of
their
saluation
:
for
by
his
pestiferous
enticementes
hee
hath
and
doth
lead
many
of
the
very

blindsom
to
the
committing
of
most
filthy

horrible
factes
,
as
among
the
auncient
fathers
,
Aron

Dauid

&c.
And
the
lyke
is
done
now

&c.
And
yet
because
they
are
Gods

hee
calleth
them
agayne
by
true
repentance
,
through
his
mercy
in
Christ
Iesus
,
otherwise
they

neuer

Thus
God
vseth
his

power
by
the
minister●
of
Satan
woorking
for

aswell
vpon
the

deuilish
deuises
to
their
desired
end

And
this
is
most
true
,
that
vnlesse
it
were
Gods
forepointment
,
it
were
vnpossible
for
any
euil
to
haue
either
being
,
mouing
or
working
:
for
neither
good
nor
euil
may
be
sayd
to
be
vnwares
of
God
,
or
against
his
secret
will
,
seeing
hee
is
all
in
all
,
and
can
doe
none
euil
whatsoeuer
hee
doth
,
and
is
euery
way
good
.
and
none
good
but
hee
,
and
those
whom
he
maketh
,
and
alloweth
for
good
.
And
because
there
is
none
other
chiefe
workman
then
onely
this
almighty
Monarch
that
worketh
all
in
al
thinges
,
of
necessity
it
must
stand
,
that
hee
hath
forepoynted
all
that
euer
was
,
is
or
shal
bee
done
,
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
eternall
purpose
,
w●th
the

,
and
the

,
howe
euery

should
proceede
,
succeede

come
to

and
to
Neyther
can
Satan
exercise
his
tyranny
vntill
God
geue
the
hippocriticall
beleuers
and
other
beastly
infidels
into
his
power
:
whom
then
Satan
*
holdeth

Thus
it
is
manifest
how
God
punisheth
sinne
by
sinne
and
man
by
his
own
abhominations
:
let
al
people
beware
therfore
of
Satans
fleyghts
,
and
subtill
enticementes
:
and
of
heaping
synne
vppon
synne
:
And
let
them
pray
to
God
in
the
name
of
Christ
Iesus
,
to
bee
guyded
by
his
holy
spirit
,
for
otherwise
it
is
impossible
for
man
to
think
a
good
thought
:
much
lesse
to
do
good
deedes
and
keepe
himselfe
from
euill
.
For
as
good
thoughts
are
raysed
in
vs
,
by
the
spirit
of
God
:
euen
so
are
our
euill
thoughts
*
by
the
messenger
of
Satan
and
mans
For
as
God
being
a

whose

vseth

&
the

hath
his

,
whose

hee
vseth
to
the
condenmation
of
the
wicked

it
pleaseth
God
:
to
suffer
him
:
It
is
a
thing
too
well
knowen

that

wicked

all

without

In
the
elect
the

striueth

resisteth
the

so
that
the

is

on

on

many

to

Now
in

not

haue
they
not

which
God
vseth

performance
of
his
promise
,
&
for
the
due
execution
of
his
iudiciall
sentence
,
pronounced
by
Nathan
the
Prophet
.
First
hee
giueth
Anmon
king
Dauids
Sonne
into
the
power
of
Satan
to
bee
led
into
temptation
,
who
stirred
vp
in
him
an
horrible
stinking
lust
of
the
flesh
,
falsly
called
loue
:
such
loue
as
Horses
haue
to
Mares
,
and
consequently
each
male
beast
to
his
kind
.
This
beastly
lust
was
to
rauish
his
Sister
Thamar
the
daughter
of
his
Father
.
And
Satan
did
so
inflame
him
,
pricke
him
foreward
,
and
torment
him
with
desire
to
accomplish
this
lust
,
that
very
anguish
for
want
therof
made
him
sicke
and
pine
away
:
hee
was
in
the
deepe
dungeon
of
Satans
prison
,
*
holden
captiue
at
his
will
.
Then
another
of
Satans
impes
one
Ionadab
a
flattering
●awde
,
such
as
seeke
their
gaine
by
such
filthy
practises
aswel
in
Princes
courtes
as
els
where
:
hee
deuised
a
fyne
hipocriticall
meane
to
accomplish
his
filthy
lust
:
saying
art
not
thou
a
Kinges
sonne
?
(
as
though
a
Kinges
sonne
were
lawles
)
&
therewithall
gaue
him
this
pestilent
counsel
,
to
fayne
himselfe
yet
more
sicke
,
to
the
end
hee
might
haue
had
some
colour
,
to
craue
of
the
king
some
meat
dreast
of
his
sisters
hand
to
comfort
him
in
his
sicknes
:
meaning
nothing
else
,
but
as
all
the
wicked
doe
:
euen
by
false
policy
,
treason
and
tiranny
,
to
accomplish
their
couetous
desires
and
filthy
lustes
,
as
hee
did
in
ra●ishing
his
sister
●h●mar
.
And
thus
God
bega●ne
to
plague
Dauid
according
to
hi●
promise
by
the
Prophet
Nathan
,
first
by
the
death
of
the
Childe
gotten
▪
in
adultery
,
secondly
by
rauishing
of
his
Daughter
by
his
owne
Sonne
.
And
it
pleased
God
to
call
for
these
villanies
and
filthines
(
which
Satan
wrought
in
Dauids
children
)
his
own
works
:
And
why
?
euen
because
Satan
doth
nothing
more
or
lesse
than
God
forepoynteth
him
.
*
For
God
sayde
,
I
will
stirre
Who
being
ouercome
by
the
suggestions
of
Satan
woorking
in
himselfe
and
others
that
fauoured
Ammon
,
through
foolish
affection
of
fatherly
pity
,
neglected
to
doe
iustice
on
his
vngratious
sonne
for
committing
so
fylthy
a
fact
in
Israel
:
the
which
notwithstanding
God
would
not
leaue
vnpunished
,
and
that
by
an
extraordinary
meane
:
because
King
Dauid
neglected
Gods
ordinary
iustice
which
he
putteth
into
Princes
handes
to
bee
executed
of
them
in
righteousnes
.
Marke
the
consequence
.
Absalon
king
Dauids
darling
sonne
,
voyd
also
of
the
feare
of
God
,
and
therefore
captiue
to
Satan
,
by
Gods
forepoyntment
,
was
by
Satan
mooued
to
reuenge
the
rauishing
of
his
Sister
Thamar
,
vpon
Ammon
his
vnhappy
brother
:
which
wicked
purpose
hee
performed
by
treason
,
for
at
a
pretended
friendly
Banquet
hee
caused
him
to
bee
cruelly
slayne
,
contrary
to
the
right
order
of
iustice
,
which
the
kinge
ought
to
haue
done
by
order
.
Thus
wee
may
see
how
God
punisheth
sinne
by
sinne
,
and
men
by
their
owne
inuentions
and
abhominations
.
As
it
is
written
*
let
men
knowe
,
that
by
such
Then
Absalon
fearing
iustice
for
his
murtherous
fact
,
fled
to
saue
his
life
,
as
nature
teacheth
in
daunger
to
seeke
surcour
to
Talmay
king
of
G●●hure
,
his
mothers
father
▪
And
being
in
exile
Satan
wrought
still
in
him
,
and
in
those
that
fauoured
him
by
famed
repentance
,
to
seeke
reconciliation
to
the
king
his
Father
:
which
thing
was
broughte
to
passe
by
Satans
woorking
in
him
,
in
Ioab
the
Kinges
chieftayne
in
warres
,
in
a
woman
and
others
appointed
by
Ioab
for
that
purpose
,
to
bringe
Absolon
agayne
from
exile
,
to
bee
a
further
plague
vnto
the
Kinge
his
Father
.
It
is
vnlike
that
Ioabs
meaninge
was
so
ill
towardes
the
King
.
And
yet
so
was
Gods
purpose
hee
beeyng
the
instrument
not
knowing
the
sequell
of
his
owne
laboure
.
For
afterwardes
Absalon
became
a
rebell
and
assayed
to
put
his
father
from
his
royall
dignity
.
All
which
thinges
were
done
by
Gods
forepointment
to
plague
Dauid
for
his
secrete
adultery
with
Vrias
Wife
,
and
murthering
of
him
being
his
faythful
seruant
.
Therfore
God
by
Satans
seruice
made
his
Sonne
Ammon
to
rauish
his
Sister
Thamar
,
and
his
dearest
beloued
Sonne
Absalon
,
to
kil
his

Amnon
:
and
after
to
rebell
agaynst
the
King
his

,
made
him
f●●e
to

abused
his

effect
done
,
as
after
the
creation
of
all
thinges
,
by
his
woord
which
immediatly
was
done
:
he
promised
that
the
seed
of
the
woman
,
should
breake
the
head
of
the
Serpent
,
which
in
his
purpose
and
knowledge
was
lykewyse
done
.
For
Christ
Iesus
being
the
seed
of
the
woman
,
hath
,
doth
,
&
shall
wreast
forceably
out
of
Satans
power
(
into
whose
captiuity
all
mankynde
fell
by
the
sinne
of
Adam
*
all
such
as
he
had
fore-chosen
and
forepoynted

purposed
in

so
that
all

are
in
him
,
yea

That
is
to
say
,
Christ
Iesus
was
then
borne
in
respect
of
God
his
purpose
,
the
word
being
spoken
for
our
ioy
and

Hee
did
then
preach

But
hee
beeing
dead
,
and
Roboham
his
Sonne
begynning
to
raigne
:
al
Israel
came
to
Sechem
to
make
him
king
as
it
were
to
the
coronation
.
And
then
and
there
the
people
hauing
chosen
them
a
Captayne
,
and
secretly
conspired
before
hand
:
that
if
the
king
would
not
graunt
their
necessary
request
,
by
way
of
humble
petition
,
to
make
lighter
the
heauy
burthens
which
Salomon
his
Father
,
by
impostes
and
taxes
had
layd
vpon
them
:
That
then
they
would
be
quite
out
his
gouernment
,
and
reuolt
cleane
from
him
.
Which
conspiracy
was
hidden
from
king
Roboham
,
who
in
asking
counsell
to
answere
the
people
,
refused
the
good
&
those
the
euill
.
And
who
was
Gods
instrument
to
cause
him
so
to
doe
?
euen
Satan
that
olde
subtle
Serpent
,
that
so
sl●ely
deceaued
Adam
,
Noy
,
Aron
,
Dauid
,
Salomon
,
and
all
the
people
of
the
World
,
from
age
to
age
,
no
one
hath
escaped
his
clutches
,
but
his
pestilent
enticementes
haue
made
them
erre
:
except
that
only
one
Christ
Iesus
the
Sonne
of
the
liuing
God
,
who
was
forepoynted
&
promised
to
breake
the
Serpentes
head
.
So
this
Serpent
Satan
woorking
in
the
mynde
of
King
Roboham
and
his
young
counsellers
caused
him
to
refuse
the
aduyce
of
the
Counsellers
to
his
Father
that
gaue
him
good
and
sober
counsell
,
to
rule
with
lenity
and
vpright
iustice
:
And
followed
the
euil
counsell
of
the
young
men
with
whom
hee
had
bene
●rayned
vp
:
to
rule
with
rigor
and
tyranny
.
Whereupon
hee
answeared
the
people
thus
:

dispiteful
answeare
:
The

dispitful
woords
:
*
what

haue
wee
with
Dauid
,
or
inheritance
with
the
sonne
Thus
the
Lord
performed
his
promise
in
renting
his
kingdome
as
well
for
the
sinnes
of
Roboham
as
of
his
father
and
grandfather
.

who

Vnlesse
some
madde
man
would
say
,
that
perhaps
some
thing
done
vnknowen
or
vnwares
to
God
,
which
were
to
diminish
his
almightines
:
but
all
thinges
are
possible
with
God
,
and
of
him
euery
thing
hath
being
,
mouing
,
power
,
&
disposition
of
woorking
,
be
it
good
or
euill
in
respect
of
man
,
for
in
regard
that
al
that
is
commeth
from
God
,
all
is
good
:
euen
that
which
euill
spirites
worke
towardes
mankinde
,
for
as
much
as
they
worke
not
otherwise
then
God
hath
forepoynted
,
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
eternall
purpose
.
Therefore
whatsoeuer
God
doth
by
the
working
of
spirites
good
or
ill
,
is
euery
way
good
,
and
no
degree
to
be
tearmed
euill
.
For
although
he
commaund
man
not

man
:
yet
may
God
destroy
millions
of
millions
without
checke
of
any
,
and
geue
lyfe
againe
at
his
pleasure
:
But
why
he
doth
this
or
that
,
or
what
hee
meaneth
by
these
or
those
his
secrete
workes
,
ther
ought
no
questions
bee
made
further
then
is
limitted
by
holy
Scriptures
:
but
with
all
humble
obedience
,
let
vs
submit
our selues
to
his
blessed
will
reuealed
in
his
word
:
and
with
all
reuerence
let
vs
honor
the
secrets
of
his
will
vnreuealed
:
And
here
withall
let
vs
liue
in
all
dutiful
obedience
to
his
holy
law
,
for
otherwise
we
hope
for
mercy
in
vayne
.
And
yet
I
say
*
that
by
the
workes
of
the
Law
no
flesh
The
iustice
of
God
which
hee
executeth
by
the
ministery
of
Satan
and
his
angels
,
as
good
,
as
holy
,
as
much
to
be
praised
and
magnifyed
,
as
his
sweete
mercy
in
Christ
Iesus
,
in
God
they
are
equall
:
Therefore
it
pleased
God
in
the
secret
counsell
of
his
own
will
,
for
his
eternall
purpose
decreed
before
the
world
was
:
to
forepoint
matter
whereon
to
bestowe
iustice
and
mercye
:
And
all
to
magnify
his
holy
name
and
shew
foorth
his
owne
glory
.
Yet
is
it
not
lawfull
for
Emperours
,
Kings
and
Princes
ouer
nations
to
seeke
their
own
glory
:
for
as
they
are
commaunded
in
generall
to
seeke
&
set
foorth
the
glory
of
God
,
but
how
they
doe
hee
best
knoweth
,
that
is
forepoynted
to
audice
their
accomptes
.
And
although
Satan
and
his
trayne
both
bodily
&
ghostly
do
euermore
deuise
mischiefe
as
is
their
nature
for
they
can
not
doe
otherwise
:
yet
God
as
often
as
pleaseth
him
,
turneth
their
wicked
purposes
the
contrary
way
.
As
when
Ioseph
his
brethren
,
by
Satans
working
in
some
of
them
,
did
seeke
to
kill
the
poore
Innocent
,
the
holy
ghost
wrought
in
other
some
of
them
,
to
withstand
that
wicked
purpose
:
and
when
some
of
them
had
executed
their
malice
,
by
selling
him
into
Egypt
for
a
slaue
,
because
hee
was
so
dearly
beloued
of
his
father
they
hated
him
,
their
malicious
entent
was
neuer
to
haue
seene
him
agayne
.
And
yet
it
pleased
God
to
turne
their
mallice
and
spitefull
wicked
entent
to
goodnes
vppon
themselues
:
And
yet
indeede
they
did
neyther
rightly
esteeme
of
Gods
holy
Law
,
nor

wrought
and
what
instrumentes
hee
vsed
to
afflict
Iob.
*
First
he
stirred
vp
the
Shebans
on
the
one
side
which
slue
his
seruants
,
&
draue
away
his
Oxen.
Secondly
Satan
brought
fire
from
Heauen
(
*
hee
being
the
Prince
that
ruleth
in
the
ayre
,
and
burnt
vp
his
Sheepe
and
seruantes
.
Thirdly
hee
stirred
vp
the
Caldeans
,
who
came
with
violence
on
the
other
part
and
both
slew
his
seruantes
,
and
draue
away
his
camels
.
Fourthly
,
with
a
mighty
blast
of
wynde
,
he
threw
downe
the
house
vppon
his
Sonnes
and
Daughters
,
and
kild
them
all
:
so
much
as
God
gaue
into
his
power
,
so
much
hee
vtterly
deuoured
according
to
his
tyrannous
nature
.
And
yet
very
ill
content
that
hee
could
not
touch
Iobs
person
:
which
at
length
hee
gaue
into
his
power
sauing
his
life
.
And
what
sayeth
the
Text
?
Satan
went
foorth
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
smote
Iob
with
sore
byles
from
the
soale
of
the
foote
vnto
the
crowne
of
the
head
.
Note
it
wel
,
he
went
foorth
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
to
doe
those
things
.
For
by
this
history
of
Iob
it
appeareth
that
deadly
enemies
,
Theeues
,
the
fyer
,
and
the
tempestious
windes
were
Satans
instrumentes
by
God
his
sufferance
to
afflict
Iob
and
to
try
his
fayth
:
whom
neuerthelesse
God
himselfe
commendeth
for
an
vpright
iust
man
fearing
God
&
eschewing
euil
:
whose
witnes
is
very
sufficient
to
approue
the
honesty
of
man
.
Now
if
the
opinions
of
Heathen
Philosophers
,
and
some
called
Christians
bee
true
,
that
the
corruption
of
the
ayre
,
commes
by
concurrences
and
influences
of
the
planets
and
signes
,
and
of
their
distemperature
commes
murrians
,
pestilences
,
botches
,
blaynes
,
burning
feuers
,
and
other
diseases
:
then
it
should
seeme
by
their
opinion
,
that
those
insencible
creatures
worke
of
themselues
,
and
cast
foorth
their
effectes
at
a
venture
here
and
there
,
without
Gods
forepointment
:
which
to
graunt
is
a
great
absurdity
and
derogation
of
Gods
almightines
.
Yea
there
are
verie
many
men
that
haue
their
wittes
so
entangled
with
fancies
of
Astrologie
and
Astronomie
(
that
they
wil
take
on
them
to
giue
a
naturall
reason
for
the
secret
workes
of
God
,
as
though
they
were
subiect
to
mans
corrupt
sences
.
Or
as
though
the
Elementes
,
planets
and
signes
could
breake
their
naturall
courses
without
Gods
forepointment
?
But
in
this
matter
of
Iob
there
is
no
mention
of
planets
nor
signes
,
albeit
I
confesse
them
to
be
Gods
creatures
made
to
his
glory
and
vse
of
mankinde
and
instrumentes
by
whom
hee
woorketh
his
good
pleasure
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
eternall
purpose
.
By
the
story
it
appeareth
that
satan
the
God
of
this
world
,
and
Prince
that
ruleth
in
the
ayre
,
hath
the
handling
at
God
his
appoyntment
of
all
those
thinges
to
execute
Gods
iustice
:
so
hath
hee
lykewyse
of
the
swoord
with
all
engins
and
munitions
for
wars
whensoeuer
they
are
abused
in
any
euil
cause
:
For
in
euery
controuersie
right
stryueth
agaynst
wrong
,
and
wrong
agaynst
right
.
So
hath
it
bene
from
the
beginning
,
is
now
,
&
shall
continue
to
the
end
of
the
world
:
And
whosoeuer
mayntayneth
the
wrong
cause
,
is
led
and
guyded
by
Satan
,
yea
though
hee
winne
the
field
.
So
that
whensoeuer
any
thing
is
done
such
as
men
cal
mischaunce
,
misfortune
,
ill
lucke
,
mischiefe
or
what
soeuer
:
whereby

or

,
eyther
by

,
by

,
water
,
storme
or

,
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
cold
of
the
Moone
,
constellation
of
the
Starres
,
opposition
of
the
Planets
,
corruption
of
the

,
dampe
of
the
Earth
,
the
abundance
of
Snow
,
the
extremity
of

,
the
want
of

,
or
too
much
wet
,
the
fury
of

,
the
venim

,
or
what
soeuer
else
:
whereby
God
punisheth
a
people
or
nations
in
generall
,
or
some
in
particuler
,
for
sinne
or
other
cause
onely
knowne
to
himselfe
:
all
is
done
by
Gods
almighty
power
and
forepoyntment
,
Satan
being
his
instrument
and
executioner
,
when
it
pleaseth
God
to
vse
him
.
Thus
appeareth
that
Satan
and
his
angels
are
Gods
instrumentes
to
execute
his
iustice
,
where
,
when
,
and
vpon
whom
it
pleaseth
God
to
appoint
.
Not
that
Satan
can
desire
to
serue
God
,
or
hath
any
zeale
to
doe
iustice
,
for
hee
is
as
naturall
an
enemy
to
mankynde
,
as
the
Wolfe
to
the
Sheepe
,
the
Catte
to
the
Mouse
,
&c.
But
God
vseth
his
naturall
malice
vnknowne
to
him
,
to
execute
his
iustice
.
And
although
that
Satan
is
called
the
God
of
this
Worlde
,
and
Prince
that
ruleth
in
the
ayre
,
yet
hee
hath
not
the
Elimentes
planets
and
signes
to
vse
otherwise
then
God
hath
forepoynted
.
Neither
doth
hee
knowe
that
hee
serueth
Gods
holy
purpose
:
for
these
as
incencible
,
&
ignorant
of
Gods
secrets
as
a
dogge
of
mans
secrets
.
And
as
the
water
spaniel
watcheth
the
shot
to
fetch
the
fowle
being
stricken
:
or
as
the
Iaylers
watch
at
the
iudgement
seates
,
and
the
hang
man
for
the
dayes
of
excution
,
to
doe
their
offices
:
Euen
so
doth
Satan
and
his
angels
wayt
incessantly
on
the
maiesty
of
God
to
be
set
a
worke
in
theyr
naturall
offices
,
which
is
to
seeke
whom
they
may
deuoure
.
For
further
proofe
hereof
,
wee
neede
not
seeke
of
Histories
,
seeing
it
is
manifest
in
holy
Scriptures
,
and
proued
by
daylie
experience
in
our
knowledge
,
as
well
among
our selues
,
as
other
nations
,
both
neare

how
the

spoile
the

And
for
a
recompence
of
their
pestiferons
wickednes
against
the
godly
and
quiet
people
,
we
see
also
how
God
maketh
the
wicked
deuour

And
al
by
the
ministery
of

his
subiectes
and
children
to

they
obay

for
so
doth

Iesus
call
the
wicked

saying
,

IT
is
an
olde
saying
,
the
Deuil
is
good
to
his
Children
,
for
commonly
they
triumph
in
the
world
▪
and
beare
the
greatest
sway
,
both
of
high
and
lowe
degree
:
some
continue
long
in
their
wickednes
and
some
are
cut
of
in
short
tyme
.
And
all
both
by
the
appointment
of
God
*
who
hath
appointed
the
water
▪
of
the
Seas
their
ba●ndes
which
th●y
shall
not
passe
,
*
Who
hath
nombred
Then
must
hee
also
(
ōr
none
but
hee
can
do
it
)
appoint
the
nomber
of
dayes
that
euery
one
of
mankind
(
both
elected
and
reiected
,
chosen
,
and
refused
)
hath
to
liue
in
this
world
,
which
And
touching
the
wicked
reprobate
that
tryumphe
in
this
World
,
*
they
haue
their
portions
in
this
lyfe
,
they
leaue
y●
Thus
the
reprobate
serue
Satan
their
father
and
God
of
*
And
as
Gehezy
seruaunt
to
Elizeus
ran
priuily
agaynst
And
it
is
most
certayne
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
gottten
by
violente
wrong
as
extortion
,
robbery
,
theft
,
murther
,
by
adultry
,
fornication
,
or
by
any
other
sinfull
meane
.
I
say
it
is
neuerthelesse
the
gifte
of
God
indirectly
.
For
God
doth
distribute
,
some
tyme
the
ritches
,
honor
,
autority
,
&
glory
of
this
world
,
by
the
ministery
of
Satan
into
whose
power
at
his
pleasure
giueth
those
things
to
bestow
on
such
as
wil
not
re●use
to
doe
any
sinne
or
villanye
what
soeuer
,
when
they
do
perceaue
a
likelihood
to
obtayne
their
sinfull
purposes
:
which
is
the
honor
that
Satan
requireth
of
all
sorte
of
men
:
and
not
materiall
fawlling
downe
as
Idolaters
doe
to
Images
.
Examples
of
such
worshipping
of
Satan
,
the
tymes
past
and
present
do
set
foorth
innumerable
.
First
for
the
obteyning
of
Monarchies
,
Kingdomes
,
principalityes
,
and
other
states
of
nobility
,
auctor●ty
,
by
office
and
such
like
:
historyes
of
diuers
countries
make
mention
of
multitudes
,
that
haue
wrought
most
pestiferous
conspiracies
*
by
deui●ish
and
subtle
treason
,
by
open

priuy
murther
,
as
wel
by
priuate
violence

as

by

wicked
corrupting
another
with

,
by
ignorancy
,
enchauntment
,
witchcraft
,
empoysoning
,
and
by
such
wicked
wayes
haue
gotten
Kingdomes
,
and
other
states
of
nobilities
▪
and
gouerned
the
same
by
cruelty
and
tyranny
.
All
which
obtayne
their
desires
by
sinfull
deedes
,
so
woorshipping
Satan
who
by
Gods
sufferance
filleth
theyr
humors
.
Moreouer
such
as
are
in
high
place
may
by
neglecting
their
duties
towardes
God
and
his
people
,
ouer
whom
they
gouerne
in
fulfilling
theyr
fleshly
appetytes
,
by
fauouring
vnwoorthy
persons
,
exalting
such
to
high
auctority
suffering
them selues
to
bee
abused
through
flatterye
and
disceipt
of
such
by
following
their
wicked
counsell
to
oppresse
the
people
as
did
Salomon
and
Roboham
,
by
taxes
,
impositions
,
and
extortions
,
thereby
encurring
the
hatred
of
the
people
ouer
whom
they
gouerne
to
their
owne
confusion
.
Such
by
obaying
their
owne
vnlawfull
lustes
woorship
Satan
vnto
their
owne
destruction
,
as
witnesseth
Boccas
of
the
fal
of
Princes
.
Furthermore
histories
witnes
and
dayly
experience
verifyeth
,
that
many
haue
and
doe
obay
ritches
,
woorship
,
honour
,
and
aspire
to
great
auctority
in
woorshipping
Satan
:
Some
by
adultry
and
fornication
,
some
by
being
bawdes
,
some
by
flattery
,
and
lying
haue
defaced
others
and
brought
themselues
into
credite
and
fauoure
,
some
by
abusing
the
iudgement
seats
,
some
by
brybe
taking
to
support
false
cases
,
to
the
hindrance
of
iustice
,
some
by
buying
,
selling
and
abusing
the
Princes
offices
,
some
by
abusing
Princes
commissions
,
and
lycences
,
thereby
deceauing
both
the
Princes
priuily
by
false
accomptes
,
and
pilling
and
polling
the
subiectes
by
extortions
,
some
by
monapolis
engrosing
the
chiefe
commodities
of
countries
into
their
handes
:
some
bydisceiptfull
buying
and
selling
,
&c.
Great
nombers
by
some
of
these
sundry
wayes
of
woorshipping
Satan
,
haue
gotten
and
purchased
such
abundaunce
of
ritches
and
landes
,
as
haue
made
their
houses
woorshipfull
in
this
world
,
and
left
the
same
by
succession
to
their
posterities
,
and
by
the
same
meanes
as
in
time
it
was
heaped
togeather
:
euen
so
in
tyme
it
hath
bene
scattered
abroad
agayne
,
&
in
three
or
four
generations
their
names
cleane
forgotten
,
as
though
they
had
neuer
bene
,
sauing
that
their
names
may
remayne
in
memory
,
as
his
that
burnt
the
Temple
of
Diana
.
Such
haue
walked
in
vaine
shadowes
,
heaping
vp
ritches
for
they
know
not
whom
.
And
some
of
those
,
yea
verie
many
for
their
filthines
in
worshipping
of
satan
,
haue
of
him
receaued
his
rewardes
,
which
are
Gods
iust
punishmentes
in
this
lyfe
:
Some
by
pride
,
ryot
,
and
prodigality
haue
and
doe
come
to
extreame
beggery
,
some
for
treason
hanged
drawne
and
quartered
,
some
for
trechery
banished
their
countries
,
some
for
murther
and
theft
hanged
:
some
for
their
wicked
liues
stricken
with
horrible
diseases
:
as
the
pockes
,
some
with
leprosy
,
some
eaten
with
Woormes
,
so
ending
their
lyues
in
those
or
other
horrible
miseryes
.
Yea
mighty
Emperoures
,
Kinges
,
Princes
,
and
many
other
great
estates
haue
receaued
of
those
rewardes
for
their
seruice
in
woorshipping
of
Satan
:
for
with
such
doth
hee
recompence
the
seruice
of
his
diligent
seruauntes
,
and
obedient
subiectes
,
some
in
short
tyme
,
and
some
after
long
seruice
.
For
the
wicked
want
patience
,
and
cannot
tarry
the
Lords
leasure
to
get
thinges
by
truth
and
honesty
,
but
spedily
they
giue
dangerous
attemptes
and
that
by
sinister
meanes
,
to
get
worldly
ritches
,
estimation
and
autority
,
which
is
the
glory
of
this
World
:
And
possessing
them
,
confesse
them
to
be
the
giftes
of
God
,
wherin
they
say
truly
:
for
they
are
indeed
temporall
blessings
proceeding
from
Gods
left
hand
to
the
reprobate
,
which
they
esteeme
for
the
greatest
happinesse
,
because
they
want
right
iudgement
:
and
grace
to
discerne
betweene
good
and
euill
.
For
as
to
get
ritches
is
doubtlesse
a
worldly
blessing
of
God
:
euen
so
it
behoueth
mankinde
to
consider
by
what
meanes
they
are
gotten
.
For
they
consider
not
the
difference
how
God
hath
made
two
sorts
*
of
men
,
whereof
hee
hath
called
many
:
and
chosen
Therefore
this
lyfe
is
vyle
and
wretched
,
because
it
happeneth
to
all
alyke
to
mans
iudgement
.
For
the
hartes
of
men
are
ful●
of
wickednes
and
mad
folishnes
,
because
they
consider
not
,
or
else
the
forget
,
that
all
is
vanity
and
shall
perish
.
And
although
men
knowe
(
when
they
thinke
on
it
)
that
they
shall
dye
,
and
haue
no
more
part
of
any
thing
that
is
done
vnder
the
Sunne
,
yet
they
care
not
for
those
thinges
,
but
wilfully
neglect
them
:
and
as
blind
men
grope
in
the
darke
,
euen
so
they
as
in
a
waking
dreame
runne
amazd
,
worshipping
satan
and
his
adherentes
for
the
thinges
of
this
world
:
not
regarding

of
the
ritche

was
answered
thus
:
*
remember
that
thou
in
thy
lyfe
tyme
Although
it
cannot
bee
knowen
by
any
thing
that
happeneth
in
this
lyfe
,
who
God
loueth
or
hateth
,
neyther
which
they
bee
that
shal
bee
saued
or
damned
:
neither
ought
men
to
be
curious
to
search
further
the
secrets
therof
then
holy
scripture
teacheth
.
And
so
farre
men
ought
to
know
by
commaundement
,
*
serch
the
Scriptures
,
&c
,
For
to
some
of
the
elect
That
wee
(
which
are
allotted
to
godly
lyfe
in
Christ
Iesus
,
to
suffer
persecution
)
through
patience
and
comfort
of
holy
Scriptures
might
haue
hope
in
God
:
and
bee
lyke
mynded
one
to
another
,
as
Christ
Iesus
is
towarde
them
that
surely
beleeue
and
trust
in
him
.
Notwithstanding
all
these
circumstances
,
God
hath
subiected
euery
reasonable
creature
,
and
bound
them
to
the
obseruation
of
his
holy
Law
,
wherein
Adam
fayled
at
the
beginning
,
which
is
so
strayt
,
that
it
is
not
in
mans
power
of
himselfe
to
keepe
and
fulfill
it
:
the
cause
why
hee
made
it
so
strayt
is
euident
Euen
to
the
end
that
al
mankind
*
should
be
shut
vp
vnder
sin
,
which
is
their
damnation
:
&
therfor
he
hath
Oh
that
al
people
would
feare
this
incomprehensible
Monarch
,
that
ruleth
,
commaundeth
,
and
woorketh
all
in
all
whatsoeuer
is
done
in
Heauen
and
earth
,
and
hath
al
things
at
his
beeke
euen
at
the
twinckling
of
an
eye
.
Therefore
he
may
haue
mercy
on
whom
he
wil
,
and
at
his
pleasure
doe
iustice
on
all
the
rest
.
Hee
made
all
,
if
hee
destroy
all
,
who
can
let
him
?
*
If
God
take
from
any
man
that
which
he
hath
Therefore
I
say
,
whatsoeuer
things
are
wrought
or
done
by
the
ministration
of
good
or
euill
spirites
,
or
angels
,
all
are
done
by
his
almighty
power
,
and
the
same
forepointed
in
the
eternal
counsel
before
the
world
was
.
Now
although
it
is
not
in
mans
power
to
obserue
this
holy
law
,
yet
whosoeuer
doth
not
loue
the
law
,
&
endeuor
themselues
to
frame
their
lyues
thereby
.
Whosoeuer
doth
not
beleeue
and
confesse
the
same
to
bee
full
of
al
holy
wisdome
euery
way
tending
to
the
preseruation
of
mans
life
in
purity
and
holines
,
to
sustayne
the
society
of
mankynd
on
earth
in
honesty
of
lyfe
:
ciuile
policy
,
vpright
iudgement
and
dew
execution
of
iustice
.
Those
I
say
do
not
shew
them selues
the
children
of
God
:
but
seeme
to
be
his
enemies
and
children
of
the
Deuill
.
I
liken
this
dangerous
law
to
a
Kinges
standerd
in
the
field
,
vnder
which
his
subiectes
of
necessity
must
fight
:
I
cal
it
dangerous
,
for
that
is
the
cause
of
death
and
not
lyfe
:
and
yet
it
is
ordayned
of
God
purposely
for
mankind
to
fight
vnder
during
this
transitory
life
,
especially
such
as
wil
liue
godly
&
honestly
must
fight
mightely
.
For
who
so
leaues
this
lawe
and
yeelds
to
his
lust
,
standes
for
the
present
in
state
of
damnation
,
from
the
which
by
grace
and
repentance
in
this
life
,
he
may
bee
recouered
:
but
not
after
this
corporall
death
,
for
in
Hell
is
no
redemption
.
Therefore
let
all
that
beleeue
the
woord
of
God
,
know
by
But
wee
must
not
trust
to
bee
saued
by
the
obseruation
thereof
,
nor
by
our
good
woorkes
:
For
in
that
behalfe
we
shall
finde
the
same
holy
law
no
better
or
surer
vnto
vs
then
a
broken
staffe
,
wherewith
a
man
thinkes
to
leape
ouer
a
brook
,
and
it
lettes
him
fall
in
the
middest
:
For
the
law
was
not
giuen
to
iustifye
,
but
to
condempne

.
For
if
there
had
*
Therefore
by
the
dredes
of
the
Law
no
flesh
shall
be
iustifyed
.
This
seemeth
a
very
hard
matter
:
and
to
meare
naturall
wisedome
more
then
strange
,
that
men
are
bound
to
keepe
a
Law
that
is
not
in
theyr
power
to
keepe
,
&
damned
for
breaking
it
:
And
yet
it
helpeth
not
to
saluation
if
they
could
keepe
it
*
Few
Maysters
thanke
their
seruants
for
doing
their
bounden
To
what
end
then
should
wee
stryue
to
keepe
the
Law
,
by
which
wee
are
damned
for
breaking
it
,
and
nothing
helped
towarde
saluation
for
keeping
it
,
if
it
were
in
our
power
to
fulfill
it
?
If
there
were
none
other
reason
but
that
God
for
his
pleasure
hath
commaunded
it
:
euen
that
to
al
people
fearing
God
,
is
a
sufficient
reason
.
But
yet
this
is
more
,
by
endeuoring
of
our selues
to
the
vttermost
of
our
power
to
keepe
the
Law
:
and
being
sory
for
breaking
it
,
wee
shew
our selues
willing
in
all
that
wee
may
,
wee
shew
our
loue
and
obedience
towardes
our
heauenly
father
▪
Who
although
it
were
his
pleasure
to
commaund
vs
more
then
now
we
are
able
to
fulfill
:
yet
wee
cease
not
with
care
,
study
prayer
,
fasting
almes
deedes
of
charity
and
all
that
wee
can
to
come
as
neere
the
marke
as
is
possible
.
And
so
doing
wee
shew
our selues
thankful
to
God
for
sending
his
onely
Sonne
Christ
Iesus
no●
onely
to
obserue
and
fulfill
the
straytnes
of
the
sayd
Law
for
vs
to
the
vttermost
iotte
that
could
be
layde
to
our
charge
:
But
also
he
payed
the
penalty
for
vs
which
wee
could
neuer
haue
satisfyed
.
For
hee
suffered
the
very
extremity
of
Gods
iustice
in
his
agony
being
nayled
on
the
Crosse
:
which
the
damned
soules
haue
suffered
,
sithens
they
left
theyr
bodies
in
earth
:
and
after
the
resurrection
shall
take
theyr
bodies
agayne
,
and
suffer
euerlasting
torment
.
Thus
though
we
walke
neuer
so
carefull

IT
is
no
meruayle
though
there
be
an
infinite
nomber
of
sects
of
heresies
fonde
religions
and
false
opinions
touching
God
and
godlines
,
among
so
innumerable
and
passing
infinite
nombers
of
multitudes
of

by

from

from
age
to
age

and
yet
are
liuing
vppon
the
sundry
soyles
of
the

For
God
hath
made
them
all
,
and
ordayned
some
to
saluation
,
and
some
to
damnation
.
And
therefore
there
are
also
two
wayes
appoynted
:
a
brode
and
euill
way
,
lykewyse
a
narrow
and
good
way
.
The
brode
and
euill
way
is
so
playne
and
easy
to
keepe
,
that
who
soeuer
is
in
it
,
cannot
of
himselfe
go
out
of
the
way
though
he
would

poynt
of
the
compasse
soeuer
hee
turne
himselfe
vnto
:
vnlesse
God
by
his
holy
Spirite
leade
him
out
.
Contrariwise
,
the
narrow
and
good
way
is
so
streyte
and
difficult
to
keepe
,
that
man
of
him selfe
cannot
walke
vprightly
in
it
,
without
swaruing
and
stackering
lyke
a
dronkard
euery

vnlesse
God
by
his
holy

sustayne
him

Lykewyse
of
the
strayte
and
wyde
gates
,
The
strayt
gate
is
ordayned
for
the
*
litle
flock
to
enter
in
,
which
God
hath
chosen
For
thus
it
is
written
by
way
of
exhortation
:
*
Stryue
to
Now
is
there
none
righteous
but
those
whom
God
hath
elected
to
saluation
in
Christ
Iesus
,
by
whom
they
are
made
righteous
.
And
yet
those
righteous
fall
so
often
into
the
daunger
of
Satan
by
sinne
:
that
they
haue
greate
cause
to
feare
and
tremble
at
the
fierce
assaults
of
the
enemies
of
their
soules
,
Satan
and
his
adherentes
both
bodily
and
ghostly
:
who
doe
woorke
by
such
intricate
flattering
,
allurementes
,
and
perilous
pleasaunt
entiementes
,
or
else
by
such
furious
and
fumes
,
of
anger
,
malice
,
hatred
,
and
reuengement
as
should
deceaue
(
if
it
were
possible
)
the
very
elect
of
their
saluation
.
But
holy
Scriptures
doe
affirme
,
auouch
,
and
confirme
,
that
Gods
election
cannot
fayle
.
What
though
many
doubt
of
the
stability
thereof
,
and
would
if
they
might
for
shame
say
there
were
no
such
thing
.
But
because
it
is
so
playnly
set
downe
in
holy
Scriptures
,
and
in
so
many
places
that
it
cannot
bee
denied
:
The
Papistes
are
constrayned
to
gloze
vpon
the
text
and
wrest
it
as
followeth
,
God
doth
choose
daily
such
,
Others
obiect
that
if
his
election
fayle
not
,
and
that
his
choice
was
before
the
world
began
:
then
say
they
,
how
could
Gods
elect
in
Adam
be
subiect
to
his
offence
and
change
their
blessed
estate
before
their
being
in
the
world
.
This
may
seeme
a
curious
question
*
which
S.
Paul
did
True
it
is
that
Gods
elect
did
offend
in
Adam
before
their
being
in
the
World
.
For
Adam
purchased
to
himselfe
,
and
to
his
posterity
,
(
by
his
infidelity
,
pride
,
and
disobedience
)
damnation
both
of
soule
and
body
:
therefore
all
his
corrupt
posterity
,
by
nature
,
of
nece●●ity
must
be
pertakers
of
y●
cursed
purchase
and
damnable
inheritance
.
And
albeit
Gods
elect
in
Adam
did
chaunge
their
blessed
state
,
and
were
vtterly
damned
:
Yet
for
all
that
Gods
election
fayled
not
.
For
by
that
offence
of
Adam
it
was
forepointed
,
*
that
all
should
be
It
is
most
true
,
that
all
mankinde
both
elected
and
reiected
,
chosen
and
refused
,
were
damned
in
Adam
by
his
disobedience
.
And
yet
the
forepointed
by
election
which
hee
had
forechosen
in
Christ
Iesus
were
euen
then
by
his
death
redeemed
agayne
the
promise
being
made
,
*
that
the
seed
of
the
woman
Thus
it
is
euident
that
the
fall
of
mankynde
into
condemnation
,
Thus
wee
see
that
mankinde
is
deuided
in
two
sorts
,
some
to
saluation
,
some
to
damnation
:
the
reprobate
are
damned
through
their
owne
default
for
their
iust
desertes
:
the
elect
are
saued
through
Gods
mere
mercy
in
Christ
Iesus
,
not
for
their
owne
desertes
.
So
was
his
good
pleasure
to
doe
with
his
owne
:
And
it
is
more
then
mere
madnes
to
argue
why
he
hath
done
this
or
that
.
*
There
is
written
sufficiently
to
answere
Now
if
these
thinges
seeme
strange
,
hard
,
rigorous
,
cruel
and
agaynst
reason
in
some
mens
iudgementes
:
let
them
neuer
trouble
their
heads
with
musing
on
the
matter
,
for
it
wil
not
helpe
:
but
rather
with
all
humility
,
let
them
returne
vnto
the
true
obedience
of
this
incomprehensible
,
this
euerlasting
,
this
almighty
,
and
passing
woonderfull
Godhed
.
And
although
men
cannot
obserue
the
Law
,
yet
let
them
confesse
it
to
bee
most
righteous
:
let
them
loue
it
,
let
them
put
all
their
care
and
desire
to
obserue
and
keepe
it
:
let
them
bee
sory
when
they
breake
it
:
thereunto
let
them
adde
,
true
&
holy
obedience
to
God
the
Father
:
stedfast
and
true
fayth
,
feare
and
loue
in
Christ
Iesus
▪
crauing
alwayes
the
gouernance
of
the
holy
ghost
,
not
trusting
any
thing
in
their
owne
strength
or
good
woorkes
.
And
they
that
are
thus
affected
may
certainly
and
without
doubt
assure
themselues
that
God
hath
chosen
them
to
saluation
,

made
them

of

in

with
his
Sonne
Christ
Iesus
,
the
right
heire
thereof
,
and
elder
Brother
of
all
the
children
of
God
.
And
those
whom
God
hath
forechosen
and
forepoynted
to
bee
saued
,
can
not
perish
by
any
meanes
,
neither
shall

so
to
tempt
God
as
doe

that

bee
sorie
as

For
what
soeuer
is
done
by

God
might
let
if
it
were

to
mankind
happeneth
many

it
is
not
so
to
God

For
hee
doth
not
onely
foreknowe
,
and
foresee
all
whatsoeuer
,
but
also
all
thinges
haue
euer
bene
,
are
now
,
and
euer
shall
bee
ruled
and
gouerned
by
his
euerlasting
forepoyntment
.
Neither
doth
hee
at
any
tyme
,
that
which
he
remembred
not
before
,
hee
vseth
no
after
wittes
,
there
is
not
in
him
any
imperfections
,
hee
hath
no
defectes
,
no
passions
,
no
forgetfulnes
,
no
chaunge
of
diuise
,
no
intention
of
alteration
.
For
albeit
that
by
the
generall
flood
hee
destroyed
all
thinges
(
except
the
arke
and
all
that
was
in
it
)
yet
hee
made
not
any
thing
new
in
the
World
which
was
not
made

For
hee
excelleth
man

wisedome

it

And
that
their
cursed
exercise
is
to
them
a
law
engrafted
so
deeply
in
their
nature
by
their
fall
,
as
they
cannot
breake
it
:
But
in
Gods
elect
that
wicked
nature
by
the
ministery
of
his
holy
Spirite
by
his
mercy

grace
is
altred

Natures
law
in
all
kynd
of
beastes
and
creeping
things
on
earth
,
fethered
foules
,
and
fish
in
the
waters
salt
and
fresh
:
God
hath
insinuated
(
by
his
woord
in
the
creation
)
into
the
vitall
spirites
of
each
creature
in
his
kynde
,
to
keepe
his
course
by
natures
lawes
:
And
it
is
a
monster
in
nature
,
whom
any
doe
contrary
to
their
kyndes
.
By
natures
law
God
from
the
beginning
hath
,
doth
now
,
and
euer
shall
gouerne
ordinarily
all
creatures
in
Heauen
&
and
Earth
,
mankind
onely
excepted
,
while
hee
liueth
in
this
world
,
whom
hee
●ath
diuided
in
two
sortes
:
as
hee
had
●●uided
the
angels
:
and
al
for
the
accomplish
ment
of
his
eternal
purpose
and
endlesse
glory
.
So
is
mankind
onely
exempted
from
this
law
of
Nature
,
by
commaundement
during
this
mortall
life
.
For
whereas
God
insinuated
and
ingrafted
into
the
vitall
spirites
of
each
liuing
thing
in
his
kinde
to
keepe
the
law
of
Nature
which
among
them
is
very
seldome
broken
.
Contrariwise
God
hath
put
vpon
mankinde
a
law
vtterly
disagreeing
and
most
contrary
to
the
corrupt
nature
of
man
:
a
law
of
commaundementes
in
woordes
playnly
written
for
mans
vnderstanding
,
preceptes
so
hard
as
it
is
impossible
for
man
by
his
owne
power
to
obserue
them
.
If
it
had
pleased
God
hee
was
also
able
to
haue
giuen
power
to
fulfill
it
,
and
so
should
mankynd
haue
liued
as
the
holy
Angels
:
but
then
his
mercy
and
iustice
should
not
haue
bene
so
manifestly
sette
foorth
vnto
his
glory
as
now
they
are
,
and
as
was
most
meet
they
should
bee
.
Yet
God
to
set
forth
his
loue
toward
man
and
the
dignity
&
excellency
of
mankind
by
his
mere
mercy
offered
vppon
our
nature
,
hee
did
forepoynt
that
the
nature
of
man
should
bee
personally
vnited
vnto
the
deity
.
In
respect
of
this
coniunction
especially
some
thinke
it
is
written
.

made
man
litle
inferiour

consideration
of

woonderfull
diuision
ought

moue

tremble

euery
where
of
this
onely
Monarke
of
Heauen

&
It
is
before
proued
that
God
hath
dealt
with
Angels
as
with
men
,
chosing
some
,
&
refusing
other
some
,
the
chosen
remayne
in
their
first

albeit
it
wanteth

warrant

One
man
as
wee
reade
,
had
a
legion
of
Deuils
in
him
,
Our
Sauiour
Christ
sayth
,
it
is
the
spirite
that
quickenneth
,
So
that
it
is
the
Spirite
that
quickeneth
both
wayes
,
yet
not
one
and
the
same
spirite
,
but
a
good
or
euill
spirite
.
Among
the
diuersity
of
Spirites
,
there
are
none
more
perillous
then
the
spirites
of
hipocrisy
,
dissimulation
and
flattery
.
For
by
the
allurementes
of
those
pestiferous
&
subtl●
spirites
:
Satan
who
by
those
meanes
(
*
doth
seem
an
angel
Yea
such
pernitious
&
wicked
spirites
shall
worke
in
some
that
shall
auouch
falshed
for
truth
:
*
And
therfore
called
false
Christes
and
false
Prophets
,
which
shall
shew
signes
&
wonders
Certayne
creatures
on
earth
haue
the
Spirites
of
life
,
the
minde
and
bodily
sences
,
as
seeing
,
hearing
,
smelling
,
tasting
feeling
,
knowledge
,
memory
,
and
agility
of
bodie
common
with
mankinde
.
If
man
had
receaued
no
more
,
hee
had
differed
but
in
shape
onely
,
from
other
seemly
beastes
:
but
vnto
vnto
man
onely
was
giuen
a
reasonable
,
and
an
immortal
Spirite
,
euen
a
reasonable
soule
,
whereby
hee
exceedeth
all

earthly
creatures
.
Therefore
to
mankinde
onely
it
is
sayd
:

not
lyke
horse
and
mule
,
which
haue
no
vnderstanding

be
holden

Therefore
most
happy

for
euer
blessed
are
they
,
to
whom
God
hath
geuen
true
vnderstanding

godly
wisedome

by

are
made
able
to
eschew

doe
good
to
seeke
